Booked by 228 families in Rio Nido, CA

Hi, my name is Ryann! At this time, I am only looking for occasional jobs as I cannot commit to a regularly scheduled babysitting job. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in criminal justice studies from San Francisco State University, and I am planning to go back to school to obtain a master's degree sometime in the next few years. I am up-to-date on all my vaccinations and boosters (including COVID-19), and I am trained in CPR/AED/First Aid, however my certification has lapsed. While in college, I took three courses specifically related to child and adolescent psychology and development. I began babysitting when I was 12 years old, and have worked with children of various ages over the years (newborns to preteens) as a babysitter, nanny, and volunteer camp counselor. When weather permits, I like to take the kids outside, for walks or to play at the park. However, I am just as happy staying inside, playing games, doing arts and crafts, or reading to the kids. I can also speak conversational Spanish. In my spare time, I like to read, bake, and make jewelry. Regarding COVID-19: I am happy to provide proof of full vaccination, including booster shots. I ask that all household members of families that I work with receive the vaccine and boosters when possible, unless medically unable. I expect mutual transparency; I cannot babysit when someone in the household is sick and/or has been exposed to COVID-19 and expect to be told as soon as possible so that the job can be canceled. Likewise, I will inform all families if I or someone in my household is sick and/or has been exposed to COVID-19 and will cancel the job with as much notice as possible. I will wear a mask while babysitting if preferred, just let me know! *Please note, for liability reasons, I will not drive children in my personal vehicle; however, I am willing to drive children in a parent or guardian’s vehicle, provided that their insurance policy covers me. Similarly, I am also willing to transport children via public transportation, taxi, or Uber/Lyft.*

I am a 28 year-old kids ski instructor and have just completed my 3rd year of instructing. I am down in Sonoma County for my 6th wine harvest. I have been babysitting since I was about 16, and had been a long term nanny twice. I am happy to provide references if you would like to learn more about the high-quality, fun and engaging care I provide. In my free time, I love to spend time outside skiing, hiking, camping, or at the beach. I teach kids 3-12 daily, but have babysat an nannied infants through teens. I am excited to meet you and your family, and to be a positive role model in your children's lives! I also am a pet sitter part-time if you are ever interested in pet care as well.

Shana $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been a preschool teacher for 5 years and it's my dream job. Working with children is the most rewarding thing I've ever done. In addition to my experience, I have 30 units of college coursework in Early Childhood Education. I've worked with both adults and children with learning and behavioral differences and am kind, compassionate, and nurturing. As a mom of two teenagers, I know how hard it is to trust someone to take care of your children. I have excellent references from 4 different preschools including a nature school, Waldorf preschool, and the Multicultural Children's Center here in Santa Rosa. I am currently a teacher at a large family farm and daycare. I am comfortable taking care of animals. Cats, dogs, farm animals...I love them all! In my spare time, I love to get outside and hike and swim. I'm an avid concert/theater goer as well. I hope to hear from you!

I'd describe my personality as a patient, responsible, good listener, love being around kids, loving, and caring I like working with kids because I love having young kids around especially when they are at the age that they still enjoy playing and learning. I'm looking for a job that will be flexible and also a job that I enjoy doing especially during school and I would want to have more job experience with working with children for the future. I started working with kids when I started my college year. I've had the opportunity to work with children the past 2 years and it's been an amazing experience. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym. I usually like to hangout with my friends as well and I like going to my brother's soccer game especially on the weekends One thing you should know about me is I am a very responsible and kind person. My skills include being patient, make sure they are well attended, making sure they feel safe and comfortable

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
